More About Our Physics High School Homeschool Science Course
Welcome to Physics! Physics can seem daunting, but it is definitely satisfying to learn how so many things around us happen. At the start of this course, most things that occur in the world will just be chalked up to chance. By the end of this Physics high school homeschool course, students will understand how and why the world works as it does.
Physics encompasses many things, from why the Earth rotates around the sun to why your lights dim when you turn on a vacuum. If you enjoy auto shop, you’ll be fascinated to know how to improve the efficiency of your car or truck. If you enjoy ice skating, you’ll pick up a few tips as you learn how skaters do what they do. If you enjoy playing on the Internet, it will be interesting to learn why some Internet connections are better than others. Have to drive in the snow this winter? Now you’ll know better how to stay on the road and keep your car in one piece. All of those topics share explanations using the laws of physics. You’ll be able to experience what you are learning in your everyday life.
That said, physics is a tough subject. It will challenge you and frustrate you. But it will also make you feel fantastic when it finally clicks! By the end of the course, students will figure out some other tips and tricks that help you succeed. If students have questions, the instructor is just an email away. The instructor is happy to help if students get stuck, and there’s no fee when when you let her know you are a Schoolhouse Teachers student. If you need a lot of homework help or grading services, please email the instructor so you can work something out (she charges a small fee for those services).
This course will include topics such as kinematics, forces and Newton’s Laws, circular motion, work and energy, momentum, harmonic motion, waves, Coulomb’s Law, electric potential, circuits, magnetism, and optics.
This course is a non-AP level physics course. This would be labeled physics in a regular high school setting versus honors or AP level.
